Prateeti started Synchro at age 10 after she got bored of swimming laps. She competed for Australia at the World Cup in 2014, and at numerous National competitions throughout her career. She currently still swims in our Master's squad. Synchro has enabled her to perform at corporate events and private functions. She is determined to grow Synchro in the state of Victoria.

Well done to our 12 and under male athlete, Eidren, who competed at the 2020 UANA Worldwide Virtual Artistic Swimming Games.
He challenged himself on short notice to learn a sequence of movements and perform it via zoom to judges from across the world.
Moreover - the worldwide aspect of it meant a 3am competition time!
We are very proud of Eidren, and thankful to UANA for organising this competition to keep our athletes motivated during this difficult period around the world.
Watch Eidren here at 51:39 and his interview with Bill May at 1:01:

We were very excited to head up to Brisbane for our first in-person National Championships since 2019. We had some great results too! And lots of improvement considering we had to work through lockdowns and restrictions throughout the past two years.
Thank you to all the parents who volunteered at the competition to ensure it could run smoothly: judges, videographers, timekeepers and so on.
We had swimmers in routines together with other Victorian clubs in Junior, Open and Masters categories. It was great to see the collaboration at National Championships ..read more

We were able to purchase signage to put at the pool thanks to a small equipment grant from Maroondah City Council.
This was desperately needed as a way to welcome new members and advertise our presence at the pool. One of our club coaches, Jennifer, kindly designed the print for the pull up banner and A1 frames! Looks great ..read more
